Here are some of our favorite comments from past participants:
“The bag of groceries that came with each class was a big help, not only to use with the class, but also with my budget. I was able to get at least two meals out of each class.”
“The class was very informative and enlightened me in so many ways to make better choices in my diet.”
“As a teacher of 43 years, I found it so well planned and presented. The food delivery was amazing and appreciated, and I found the cooking level perfect for seniors.”
I am amazed at how much I learned.”
